beallah

Real citation: “MIM: In an article headlined 'Allah be praised' the writer joked that the Muslims had taken over an old church scaring the 'bejeezus(the beallah?) out of many of their neighbors'."(Jan. 11, 2007, Daily Diatribe, http://dailydiatribe.com.au/?p=2274)

Made-up citation: "In 2007, marauders beat the bejesus, the beallah, the beodin, and the holy hell out of me. It was an interdenominational can of whup-ass, opened by angels."
